SALT LAKE, UTAH: Angie Harrington is not returning to 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' Season 4 to spend more time with her youngest son Hart Christopher Harrington.
In May 2023, Angie revealed that she was leaving 'RHOSLC' to help provide more care for Hart after he was diagnosed with autism.
Angie received Hart's diagnosis in November 2022 and has been taking steps to adjust ever since.
In a previous interview with People, Angie revealed that she along with her family come together to "protect Hart and love Hart and do whatever we can to help him through this process."
Angie went on to reveal that she reached out to her co-stars Heather and Meredith Marks, who she said were "extremely supportive and wonderful".
Despite her exit from the show, Angie explained that she is grateful for her time on the show as it allowed her to raise awareness for issues impacting the transgender community.
While referencing juggling with motherhood and reality TV, Angie noted, "It was also a matter 'of brain capacity, for sure. Because the older I get, the more exhausted I get. There’s only so much room you can handle."
She added that the show "was taking me away from what I really have to focus on right now."

Angie Harrington rejects 'RHOSLC' producer's invitation to return to Bravo show
Angie Harrington was offered to appear on the Bravo show as a regular star. However, she never accepted that offer and revealed, "My initial instinct was, 'Don’t do it.' And there are times I go, 'Yeah, maybe I should have listened to that.'"
Angie made her television debut with 'RHOSLC' Season 2 and hoped it would be a "powerful platform" to "raise awareness" for the transgender community.
After two seasons as a 'friend' of 'The Housewives', however, Angie had to make a "hard choice" and decline the producers' invitation to return.
Angie revealed that the producers reached out to her and said, "We'd love to have you back. And we'd love to share your son's story because I had confided in them what was going on. And kudos to them for being willing to bring awareness." But she ultimately decided she needed to devote her time to her family.
Fake Instagram account sparks feud among Angie Harrington, Jen Shah, and Lisa Barlow
